If only life were that simple. Whose laptops am I going to buy?

Marks up replacement SSD prices by 10x

You know you can just pop in a Crucial MX500, right?

And I did. The issue is they put in a QR code for their own $800 500 GB SSD in the bios error message for when your SSD breaks.

My non-technical friend had no idea it's an obscene price and may have bought it just to get his laptop working.
